I'm sure y'all have all had deviled eggs before, but I'm going to post this anyway, just in case there is some unfortunate soul out there. This afternoon I found myself with a hankerin' for one of my favorite snacks...deviled eggs. However, I had no mayonnaise. So I googled how to make mayo and as you might know, it's quite simple. I took two egg yolks, added some salt and pepper, and then started whisking. I then added 1 cup of olive oil a drop at a time (all the while whisking). Add a tablespoon of vinegar at the end and whisk a little more. Of course, the mayo tasted quite olive oily, but it was all I had...and I thought it was great!
Next, I made the deviled eggs. Nothing fancy, just the basics. I use 6 boiled eggs, 1/4 cup mayo, some mustard (I just squeeze in the regular spicy kind, maybe 2 tablespoons), and a few dashes of tabasco. Oh, yeah, salt and pepper. Boil the eggs. Cut them in half, put yolks in a bowl. Then add mayo, mustard, tabasco, salt, and pepper. Mix. You might think I'm weird but I like mine a little chunky. I just get a fork and mash everything up a bit. Then I spoon it into the eggs and sprinkle paprika all over.
Best deviled eggs ever! The homemade mayo makes the biggest difference!

I have made mayo once, and it was revolting! Too much extra virgin olive oil I think. I might just have another go though looking at this, those eggs look yummy!
